Good. How can i let them know i approve? Big blimpf flying past the hospital saying "fuck palantir, big up the NHS"?

On which subject, I (here in Cymru, not part of the Palantir NHS England problem) received a letter in the post this week asking if I wanted to take part in a large survey for the NHS, which would involve giving a blood sample for analysis. The address given was in England, and so I'm guessing it's a joint project with NHS Cymru and England.

I have to say that I am not intending to reply to the letter because of Palantir; it feels horribly like a data gathering exercise funded by them.

Does anyone else know about this?
